Worth it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony Built in Bluetooth In-Dash Digital Media Receiver has so much eased my life while I drive my car now. I didn't have a screen which was painful to have a phone docked to the dashboard to the car. However, now I can use my screen to navigate, select music, and I could also talk hands-free with the enabled mic. Worth it!

Posted .Thank you for your review, ThripleH!
We are so pleased to hear that you love your XAV-AX1000 car receiver! It's great to know that the physical volume knob is a feature you enjoy—we included it for quick, intuitive control while driving, so your feedback is wonderful to hear.
It's also fantastic that you are enjoying the functionality of both XM Radio and Apple CarPlay. We agree that the wired connection for CarPlay provides a stable link and that quality audio experience you prefer.
Thank you again for choosing Sony to upgrade your driving experience!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

Good radio. Simple touchscreen w. Apple play
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy install in '10 Chevy Malibu with Axxess GMOS-LAN-03 LAN. Apple car play works great. Speedy tuning of radio. I don't have XM so I can't test that. I may get a rear view camera as this unit can work with one. Simple touchscreen interface.

Great value for the money
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this stereo for my daughters first car so she could have Bluetooth wireless hands free calling. We also added the backup camera too and the picture quality is amazing. The stereo is well worth the money especially when Bestbuy installed the stereo for free the rear view camera was and additional cost for install but well worth it.

Great in-dash receiver for features and price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had this installed in a 2003 Chevy Silverado. It looks good, and sounds really good. Couldn't be happier with the ability to use Apple CarPlay in an older vehicle.

Great Head Unit..for a really nice price.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice radio to put in my son's 1989 Firebird Formula.....Despite what you hear, this radio DOES FIT in the cavity left by the factory radio. Sony unit has Carplay which is essential for safe texting and calling....GPS guidance via carplay and the ability to get the great SiriusXM service. Hooked this up with an 8 inch Kicker HS8 and new front and back Kicker speakers and we would not be anymore satisfied.

Great.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a stereo with a knob for volume, that had Apple CarPlay, I know it might sound ridiculous but it quite hard to find one, I’m no expert at this, but there are many good reviews on YouTube to check out.

Good upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the third one of these units I've bought. We've installed them in all three of our family cars and are so pleased with each of them. Two were installed through Best Buy, the third we did ourselves since BB installation wasn't an option any longer. I'd definitely recommend the units- for the price, they're a fantastic upgrade for an older, outdated receiver. We have them in a 2013 VW Passat, a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer, and a 2021 Toyota Sequoia, and it's great when we need to swap or share cars to have the same system that works reliably every time.
